Because I just don’t have enough on my plate right now..

For the last couple weeks Ian and I have been really weighing our options about what to do after Rocky gets here. There is the whole daycare issue, the fact that we are trying to save money, etc. Well, after a lot of thought, we have finally reached a solution we are all really happy with. WE ARE MOVING! We have decided to move into a smaller apartment, so that I can focus on raising our kids and hurrying to finish school! Now, this has not been an easy solution, we absolutely LOVE the house we live in, the neighborhood, the area, everything! However, we have always known it was never permanent. Our landlords plan on living here when they get older, so we were never going to have the option of buying this house.
At this point I would like to add that we have the most amazing son ever. One big worry of ours about moving was how it would affect Zane. He loves our house as well, and he is pretty much soul mates with the girl that lives next door. When we asked him how he felt about moving, he said it was cool. When we told him it would mean we would live in a much smaller place, he asked if he could get a bean bag chair. We said yes. When we told him it meant we would not be able to set up his trampoline, he told us that was okay. He actually seems excited about moving! I think kids are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for!
So there you have it. We need to find a place and move all in the next 8 weeks. Should be interesting. I am really excited for this step and I feel like any sacrifices we make now are really going to pay off. I have been going to school FOOORRRREEEEVVVEEEEERRRRRR, I am so excited to finally be done and to be able to eventually find a job doing something I love! I am so lucky to have a husband that is so supporting and is willing to sacrifice now so that I can follow my dreams! Have I mentioned that he is pretty great? I am so excited to be able to be home with Rocky and Zane!!
Im off to began calling apartment complexes!! More info to come!

Must say I am in a bit of a shock, but after reading The Total Money Makeover, I definitly see from where you are coming. I hope the hunt for an apartment goes well and that you get some kind of great deal for a great place. Sad to think of you not having that great street to play on, but how great to be able to be home with only your kids and be able to finish school. A tough call but I think you got it 100% right. And yeh, I have to agree about your husband. ;-)
